The Champagne has been too cautious during the crisis? " We're back in a situation of scarcity, says Frederic Rouzard, owner of Roederer. risk creating a problem in the supply of grapes. " In relation to the crisis which has hit sales of Champagne for two years, wineries and Maisons of Champagne have agreed to limit the area of \u200b\u200b33,000 hectares of vineyards. On the eve the 2009 vintage, after tough negotiations, the actors of champagne had agreed to produce 277 million bottles, representing a 30% lower than 2008.
last year agreed to a production of just 301 million bottles. These choices were dictated by the fact that all players in the Champagne had been considered a very slow exit from the crisis.
The decision allowed the one hand, to improve the stock of champagne in the cellars, without considering the large and unexpected increase in consumption in Asian countries that, if the situation does not change, will produce a shortage of bottles of Champagne. This is because, in these last two years, because the global economic crisis that has slashed consumption, all the house of Champagne have produced much less.
Therefore, this year will begin a period shortage of champagne, because normally the first to market a bottle must pass at least two years (minimum period necessary and to allow the fermentation of wine).
